Mr.48 posted:Would you care to elaborate or address my concerns? It's a show about Vikings doing Viking things, which, according to what modern audiences consider the "interesting bits," includes a fair amount of raping and pillaging. If you can't get over that, it's not the show for you, though the show doesn't always harp on those points. There's a fair amount of inner-clan politics and backstabbery and whatnot.

Josh Lyman posted:I'm 2 episodes behind on Hostages and this show is 110% in hate watch territory. It's basically Under the Dome levels of stupidity with slightly better production quality. Under the dome is a lot more enjoyable, honestly. Hostages would have been a fine single episode of something, but no more than that.

Deadpool posted:I would not be surprised if there's been about 2,000 plot twists in the episodes since then though. Surprisingly, there's only been one significant "twist," and it was about as predictable as the sunrise. Guess what? McDermott isn't the top of the conspiracy food chain. It's a bad show filled with dumb characters, but I can absolutely say I have seen and still watch worse shows.

Season 5 of Sliders, huh? I hadn't watched this show since it aired, and somehow I missed there was ever even a fifth season. I took the advantage of Netflix to binge through through 1-4 over the last week, and now I'm a couple episodes into the final season and I have no idea what's even going on. They kept Rembrandt of all the originals, and he's still stuck with Kari Whurtever, and somehow Quinn is now in the body of some jarhead who rivals Quinn's brother for the bad-acting trophy of the series (seriously, the other O'Connell was terrible, but so is this guy.) What happened to this show?

As far as I'm concerned, if you enjoyed watching Sam & Dean saving people and hunting things for five seasons, you'll continue to enjoy it for the next four. Try to think of post-season 5 Supernatural as the bonus material on a DVD. You got what you paid for with the main content - the rest is just a nice treat. And there really are some of the best episodes of the entire series nestled in there.

Tupping Liberty posted:I like Supernatural enough, I'm probably going to ignore the "stop after season 5" crowd and keep going. Maybe by the time I'm finished the show will be finished. Has there been talk about that, or is the CW just keeping it going until they don't want to anymore? From my understanding, CW is willing to keep producing more episodes as long as the lead actors are willing to keep making them. Neither side has expressed interest in ending the relationship any time soon.

I thought Supernatural's whole "Wincest" thing was just what people wanted to see, and not something that actually existed. Ever. In the slightest. Sure, in the later seasons, the "gay" is played up between certain characters for comedic value and as a jab at desperate fans, but I never saw any of that in the first few seasons.

They should draw How I Met Your Dad out for 10 seasons and in the final episode reveal that the actual fathers were one-night stands of infidelity, then retroactively rename the show "How I Met Your Dads." And make the dads Barney and his brother.

I checked out of watching last season, when the savant kid whose name I've already forgotten had some internet lovey dovey with a stalker complex, that may or may not have turned out to be a legitimate stalking situation. My roommate still watches it though, and says it's good.

I just watched last night's Person of Interest. Normally I roll my eyes at the hyperbolic praise it tends to receive around here from certain parties, but this season has been top notch and the last few episodes have really crescendoed into a hell of a thing. And I was so happy to see Carter get made Detective again!

Burn notice suffers very much from the "every episode is basically the same" problem. The cast is mostly enjoyable enough that I was able to sit through five seasons of it before burning out, but eventually I got tired of the sameness of it all. Similar patterns keep repeating as well, such as Fiona pulling her "I want more!" then withdrawing B.S. And the mom is completely insufferable. But anyway, if you like the cast and the formula, it's worth going back to. I'm sure I'll eventually get around to finishing the series once enough time has passed.

My roommate finally realized that Parenthood existed last night so she was catching up on the season. I asked her if they were still all unlikeable people, and even though I was joking, the more we discussed it, the more I realized there were only two or three cast members left which I still liked before checking out part-way through last season: Camille and Ray Romano. And I guess Crosby's kid is pretty adorable. Her response to it was, "I enjoy not liking these people. They make me feel better about who I am."

HUMAN FISH posted:Watch Hostages. Every episode and twist is like 24 Kim/cougar level magnificence. It's incredibly bad. It's so pleasant to hatewatch. I'm still amazed that Elisha Cuthbert is actually a solid comedic actress as seen on Happy Endings, considering how low of an opinion I had of her due to 24. It almost makes Kim Bauer less awful retroactively. Nothing will redeem Hostages though. It's simply a terrible show.

It's not the kind of thing that really needs spoilering. Suffice it to say, whenever the opportunity presents itself for Will Schuester to be the worst possible friend/boyfriend/educator/role model, the character will sieze that opportunity like a pit bull locking its jaw on a threat to its master. He does have redeeming moments, but they are easy to forget between all the terrible ones.

...of SCIENCE! posted:It's funny that they invented the "manatees putting idea balls into slots" burn for Family Guy because every South Park episode I've heard of since I stopped watching it back in '06 (and a lot before that) reads like a random mash-up between some piece of pop-culture and sociopolitical issue. It's really hard to make out, but there was ever the slightest hint of self deprecation during that episode.

Deadpool posted:I don't put a lot of stock in TV and Movie reviews at all, but literally everything I've heard about Hostages points to it being one of the worst television shows in years. I watched the first episode when it aired and didn't like it all, never went back for more. I've watched every episode and will stick with it. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it the worst, or one of the worst, shows in recent memory, but considering that I watch a lot of crap, and this is the crappiest crap out of all the crap that I watch the crap out of, it's a pretty big piece of crap.

Shageletic posted:Catching up with the thread, so this is late, but seriously how do you people have the time to watch stuff you acknowledge is crap?! I don't even have time to watch the stuff that I know is going to be great going in (Rectify, etc). In my case, I work from home and 90% of what I watch is in the corner of the screen while I'm focused on other things. A show has to be special to earn a non-work time viewing slot. Hostages is definitely not one of them.

I don't dislike SHIELD. It's a pretty inoffensive show by all accounts, which is quite possibly its biggest flaw; Agents of SHIELD doesn't really push any boundaries or bring anything terribly exciting to the table. It's a soft serve vanilla cone, with no sprinkles. It doesn't cross over into "bad" in my opinion, even if it is having trouble reaching "good."

Mu Zeta posted:I think the music in Fringe is really irritating and too drat loud. I get that they are proud of Michel Giacchino but it just dominates all the time. Does the music need to swell so loudly when Olivia is just reading a newspaper article? I have the same complaint about Hannibal. It's too loving loud. Interesting observation. I can understand it with Fringe, even though it never took me aback, but there have many times with Hannibal where I felt like I was straining to hear the score and I thought it deserved to be more prominent. It's very nearly a character of its own.

I was never a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I enjoyed some of the characters, but overall the show never grabbed me (maybe/probably because I was never a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar.) However, I do think it's worth watching through to fully appreciate Angel, which is fantastic.
